hearing

“We have chosen each other
and the edge of each others battles
the war is the same
if we lose
someday women's blood will congeal
upon a dead planet
if we win
there is no telling”

I have been searching for this live reading of Outlines by Audre Lorde I accidentally stumbled on when i was in college and it has driven me insane trying to find it again dude where did it go

locking in bc i thought it would be funny

shoutout Jalen Rose, very glad i’m reading this at the start of the season and my cavs are 12-0

also got a crazy callback to nonblack people being afraid when you play the dozens with your friends (mind your business) (but also i’m 24 we do not call that shit the dozens anymore)

excited to continue!
